Debora’s work ethic is absolutely impeccable! Her services and professionalism exceeded my expectations and she sure does not lack any authenticity. With her warm understanding and patience, figuring out what days worked best for an appointment were never an issue. Debbie, I’m beyond thankful to have found you and I will be forever grateful for the guidance and support you provided me during our sessions. Thank you so much for letting me speak my truth and for never, ever making me feel like I didn’t deserve to be heard.

I found Professional Counseling and Services of Vero Beach looking for help with my son. Since the 1st day with our counselor it felt like home. She was someone that was easy for my son and I to talk to. Neither of else felt judged in any way. Counseling will be ongoing for a while but with their help I believe it will help him with teenage life skills that are needed. Thank you for being a part of our community

Ray and his team are absolutely amazing! You will not come across a team that cares more about their patients and willing to go the extra mile to advocate on their behalf.

Cindy is the best therapist I’ve encountered. She is a very smart, kind, compassionate, honest, and humble person. She has helped me tremendously. I’m now more compassionate with myself and this has been helping me to heal traumas. I also love that she has various approaches to healing and because of this, I don't get bored of therapy. Dr. Downey is also an excellent psychiatrist. She is the first person who acknowledged how much I was suffering. I felt embraced and cared for talking to her. With her thoughtful diagnosis, I now have a temporary tool to help me manage my disorganized mind.

This place is ABSOLUTELY amazing! I cant say tell you enough, the doctor is the best psychiatrist I've seen in 20 years . Ray is one of the if not the best office managers i have ever interacted with at a doctors office. Treats every patient like a human being, he is so down to earth, relatable & will go out of his way to make sure anything you need is taken care of. I cant rave about him enough my experience has been fabulous! Thank you so much to the Ray & Dr.Downey.

I started therapy about a month ago, and it’s great! I found an amazing therapist in Erika she’s fantastic and I’m very thankful for her!!

A little over a year ago, I became a legal guardian. The minor in my care was disoriented and distraught at times, experienced delusions and hallucinations, suffered from bipolar disorder, PTSD, and eating disorder. If that weren’t enough, she is also on the autism spectrum. Ray Gonzalez, the office manager, Dr. Janice Downey, the licensed psychiatrist, and Lisette Perez, the licensed therapist with specialization in autism counseling at Professional Counseling and Services of Vero Beach provided the support and professional services the minor needed to thrive. Friday evenings and the weekends, when the office is closed, of course, are usually when an emergency arises. Caring for a minor with complex mental health issues, is emotionally draining. When we’re experiencing an emergency, I text Ray and, almost immediately, he replies, which helps reduce anxieties we’re experiencing at the moment because we know, once Ray replies, we’ll receive the help we need. Ray treats us like family. He sincerely cares about his clients’ mental wellness. He’s accommodating. He works with our schedule to get us an appointment as soon as possible. Dr. Downey, with over 35 years experience under her belt, is a great listener. She’s empathetic and “extremely professional,” as the minor puts it. Thanks to Dr. Downey, I’ve seen drastic improvements and emotional stability in the minor’s mental and overall health. Lisette Perez, her therapist, has helped the minor improve behaviors and thoughts common in children with autism since they see the world differently than we do. The minor has said to me, “Lisette gets it… she knows how I think… she understands me … she teaches me skills to cope with day-to-day stressors and triggers. I always look forward to my weekly therapy sessions.” Today, thanks to Ray’s genuine interest, Dr. Downey’s professional care, and Lisette Perez’s weekly therapy counseling, the minor has a new outlook on life. She feels happy and embraces life every day! Thank you Ray, Dr. Downey, and Lisette!

Suzanne was terrific. Her compassionate guidance really opened me to the process of EMDR. My shift in thinking and feeling is quite amazing.

Cindy is an amazing therapist.

Cindy is an amazing therapist, someone who is always willing to be there in your toughest times and provides the best support!

In the months that I have been seeing Ashley Robertson I have been helped and guided through some difficult grief and relationship issues. I have been dealing with a spouse that has been in an ever downward spiraling dementia for years. Its difficult when someone you love is unable to do anything for themselves or communicate in even the simplest ways. This had left me feeling depressed and alone. Ashley has helped to realize these challenges are opportunities for growth and understanding them and dealing with them builds me up as person and strengthens my character. Ashley has shown me the value of maintaining social connections with good friends and relatives during these trying times. Ashley is a great listener and knows just just when and what to say to comfort, challenge and encourage me. She is a person of deep faith that refreshes my soul

I was so thankful to get in the same day I called. I was matched with the perfect counselor for my needs, Breanne. She helped me understand why I was having gut wrenching anxiety and is now helping me better myself for my future. I highly recommend her ❤️

Best choice I ever made was to come here!!! For the first time in my life I FINALLY felt heard. Overall, I am very pleased with my experience.

After doing an extensive amount of research on counseling facilities I feel lucky and blessed to have found this place. After meeting with the counselor I was matched up with I knew right away that I was with the right person to fit my needs. I highly recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a warm, nonjudgmental approach to therapy. You will not be disappointed.

Professional Counseling and services of Vero Beach has not only helped me feel comfortable, they matched me with such a wonderful therapist. Cathy Mclaughlin has been not only a compassionate listener but she has given me the tools I needed to get through some tough times. I highly recommend both !!!! Denise Stefanacci
